Glenn Beck Went To Israel, Kurt Andersen Wonders If He’s ‘Clinically Manic’

» 147 comments

Huh. Apparently, Glenn Beck made a “surprise trip” to the Middle East this past weekend. Gosh, I had no idea that Beck liked Israel.

Heh, just kidding. He mentions it about thirty times per episode.

Yes, anyone who’s watched or listened to Beck with any regularity knows that he believes America’s relationship with Israel is of the utmost importance and is also in danger of being ruined. Thus, as he pulls out all the stops in his last time on Fox News, it’s not a big surprise that he’d head to the Promised Land.


Meanwhile, however, Kurt Andersen had a different theory as to the cause of the trip:


Poor Beck. He can’t even go on a trip without someone accusing him of being crazy.

There’s no information about what kind of content and stories he got from the trip but GlennBeck.com promises that details will be coming soon both there and at The Blaze. So, if anyone’s bummed there’s no new Beck on the radio or TV today, just comfort yourself imagining the special event viewing that Beck at the Wailing Wall is sure to bring.

    Now everyone is catching up to speed about what I’ve been saying all along, he is MAD.

  • skyfet

    Maybe he wants to run for the White House, they all seem to be going there before running.

  • The Tea Weasel®

    Glenn does appear to have some organic disorder, but I am not going to waste my time worrying about it.

  • writer

    More smears. And he did not take a harpoon to the wailing wall.

  • lane

    I must be crazy as well. I’ve always wanted to visit the holy land. Difference is that I don’t have millions in my bank accounts from books, TV and radio. Sounds nice.

    Oh wait, that’s not crazy. Not understanding the religious importance of the middle east is not crazy either. Just ignorant.

  • RowdyHoward

    Let’s just pop over to Israel for the weekend, you know, learn enough to stretch over my remaining rants.

    was it a “surprise” because he didn’t clear it with your lefties first?

    Would someone please tell me how Andersen leaped from trip = clinically manic? It’s o.k. I figured it out – Public Radio – Mr. Andersen trying to stay relevant. How’s that working for you Kurt – not so much I think.

    I hope that was his own personal twitter account because I don’t think that should be allowed on “public” airwaves.

    Jon, this piece seems to serve no other purpose than as an outlet for liberal Beck Derangement Syndrome. Don’t you libs ever tire of obsessing over people who couldn’t care less about you?

  • Who is Salacious Crumb

    I do not care much for Beck but going to Israel over the weekend on a whim is not crazy, its being rich. I also have no idea who this Anderson fellow is, and that’s probably why he “tweeted” what he “tweeted.” Obsessing about a total stranger’s weekend travel habits sounds more crazy in my lexicon.

    Wow. Glenn Beck going to Israel puts the left in crazy mode. Why? Derangement. Oh, and I have no clue who Kurt Anderson is.

  • Barack Must Go

    Just listening to the jealous flamers on the left is enough of an appetizer to hold, me anyway, over till the main course arrives.

  • Pickles McKay

    Kurt Anderson is the host of “Radio 360″ on NPR. That really is a reach writing a story about him (and I’m no Glenn Beck fan).

    I do look forward to logging on later, though, and reading a Mediaite story about what Lynne Rossetto Kasper of “The Splendid Table” thinks of Rush’s first hour today.

    Most blogs on Mediaite are designed to inflame both liberals and conservative into commenting multiple times thus engineering multiple page views thus producing better data to sell to advertisers. Its a great traffic strategy.

    The cryptic nature of the GB tweet, added to a read on “The Blaze” about this surprise trip makes me wonder why anyone gives a frak where GB is.

    Just hope GB brought enough sunblock for him and that giant ego of his.

    For those who cannot research it themselves about Kurt Anderson: http://www.kurtandersen.com/index.php
    (Tip: he’s more impressive than GB by far)

  • my dogs gone

    GB embraced Israel after the 400 Rabbis bought an ad in the NY Times asking FOX to remove him for his anti-semitic comments. GB knows to embrace his enemies.

  • my dogs gone

    Seems like a desperate bid to attract a larger audience to FOX and save his last TV job.

    Yes, because instead of rationally refuting Glenn Beck’s theories, he calls him a name on twitter because he took a trip over the weekend. Yea, that kind of discourse wins a lot of people over, apparently.

  • BatBoy

    Well, Glenn’s trip made it worthwhile for Kurt Andersen – I had to Google Andersen to see who he was!

    Leave it to you to speak of what you know not. Go beat your badger.
    In my state of Mass., an INITIAL visit with a NEW doctor MAY take up to two months to schedule, as the Globe article noted.
    Any patient may enter ANY clinic or Emergency Room at ANY time and receive care, regardless of their coverage. Follow-up care WILL be scheduled until the patient has a primary care physician.
    In short, if you are uninsured and not in Canada, have your accident in Mass. You WILL be cared for.

    It’s one thing to take a surprise trip on the weekend, it’s another thing to miss work on Monday.

  • WillP

    Absolutely. Glenn Beck has alarming mental health issues. Anybody could have reached this conclusion last summer when he had his religious fest on the mall attempting to restore honor in America on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s death. No public figure in my lifetime has attempted such a grand stage to promote themselves. The man sees himself clearly as a gift to humanity above the intelligence of everybody else. He is a serious megalomaniac. Not to make light of tragic deaths in his family, but his brother and mother did commit suicide. Serious mental illness very often has a connection inside families.

    That goes for any emergency patient in any emergency room in America. The emergency room situation in MA is worse than it was before the law was passed because people who don’t want to wait 2 months to see a doc are going to the ER.

    Why is it that all a traitorous Jew (traitorous to their own) has to do is lie about someone and, without examination of the facts, he is taken seriously? There are plenty of people whose entire mission in life seems to be instigating mistrust among those who should be the closest allies?

And it takes absolutely no talent to make it on radio and TV. Glenn Beck couldn’t possibly be an engaging personality who people like to listen to. I swear, I know tons of people who lost their family, drank heavily, and found themselves in the fetal position in their one bed-room apartment and went on to become the 3rd most listened to radio talk show host in America as well as having a number one cable news show at 5 pm. /sarc

    I have another theory about why beck went to Israel on the spur of the moment.

    There are some loons who think that the world is going to end on May 21, 2011 (almost 2 weeks from now). Beck probably found this out and decided he wanted to see the Holy Land before the rapture takes place. Beck, after all, loves conspiracies of various sorts.

    Those 400 Rabbis aren’t real Rabbis but secular humanists disguised as Rabbis. Real Jews and Real Zionists love Glenn Beck and stand with him against George Soros, #1 enemy of Israel and capitalism. Besides, in a country of 300 million it’s easy to find 400 people to sign anything.

    @Who is Salacious Crumb

    Yeah, there are conservative posters who do the same, but it’s my observation that it happens more often on the left.

    “Ummm…maybe because she constantly reports our posts in a lame effort to get us banned, like a stuck-up third grade hall monitor.

    She says that makes her a ‘good person’. lolol

    Anyway, we’re not obsessed. Woman are your hang up.
    We attack notsofast and Pablo for pages on end but you don’t notice it because you are one of those laughable internet white knights who only comes to the defense of the wimmuns.

    Try to stop thinking about sex when you post.”

    Wow, I have a hang up with women, who knew? Anyways, if you’re not obsessed with the female conservative posters, then many of your liberal bretheren are. It is what it is.

    If Beck is “clinically manic” it would be doubfful he would be cleared to meet with Netanyahu and, looks like the Israelis like him, really like him. Who knew?

    The Jerusalem Post reported:

    US TV personality visits Israel; Danon: He has proven himself to be a true friend of Israel who is willing to speak out when so many are often silent. Fox News television personality Glenn Beck, visiting Israel in honor of Independence Day, was scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday.

    Beck was expected to visit the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Tuesday, accompanied by Likud MK Danny Danon.

  • kflynn

    Rio said:

    Um, it’s a clinical condition (if he has it) that can be managed through medication. What you’re saying is the equivalent of “It’s doubtful a diabetic would be cleared to meet with Netanyahu.”

    Stigmatizing mental illness isn’t helpful for either side. It MAY be an explanation for some of GB’s behaviour, but it should NOT be the basis for ridiculing him.

    kflynn said:

    I’m not ridiculing him. I’ve seen his program a few times, heard snippits of his radio program, have yet to see what the big issue with GB is. Information he was discussing on the programs I watched I already knew about, I live outside of Chicago and have read Chicago blogs and papers for years, they already had the info.

    Rabbits are a pagan symbol of fertility celebrated during the Spring Equinox in ancient Europe.

    When the Emperor Constantine merged the three religions in 315 AD pagan ritual blended with Christian ritual and Jewish Passover.

    Very close i.e. the Four Horsemen were code for the four self-declared Roman Emperors. He wrote in code to evade Roman authorities concerning their demise.

    Anderson is a classic case of PPD (Paranoid Personality Disorder) with issues of Projection, and PNF (Perpetually Not Funny).

  • http://societyfordaintydamsels.wordpress.com Lynda Appell

    IMHO Kurt Anderson wondering if Glenn Beck is manic because he took a trip to Israel is idiotic. First is Kurt Anderson a mental health professional? For that matter is he any kind of mental health expert? I am certainly not a Glenn Beck fan. Geesh bipolar disorder is a serious, major mental illness. I read the entire report here on Mediate . I don’t see how traveling to Israel itself makes him manic. Unless I know more info I don’t want to jump to any conclusions.

    Beck isn’t “crazy.” That’s a false meme that lets him off the hook for his more absurd assertions. No, he’s just a master at getting media attention and some fools in the media, hmmm, hmmm, give it to him when he least deserves it.
